Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice for the installation of a new sewer lift station at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Bastrop in Bastrop, Texas. This is not a solicitation, but an effort to identify qualified sources. Responses are due by March 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project involves the removal of an existing septic tank and associated piping. A new fiberglass manhole with a grinder pump and a new duplex sewer lift station in a precast concrete sump will be installed. The sewer system will then be extended to a Corix Utilities tie-in location, requiring coordination with the utility and responsibility for associated tie-in costs. The estimated performance period is 210 calendar days.
